I don't see any mention of size on the seller's page, and the ruler's
no help. Of course as B. carica is just a form of B. perversum it's
meaningless anyway...

I don't see whay people are concerned with "world record" sizes
anyway... I have many unique specimens in my collection, and of course
every one is a world record. I'm not going to bother submitting them.
